Project description:The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of progressive weight loss (5, 10, 15% weight loss) on metabolic function such as multi-organ insulin sensitivity and beta-cell function in obese people. We conducted microarray analysis to determine the effect of progressive weight loss on adipose tissue gene expression profile. We examined subcuntaneous adipose tissue samples obtained from 9 obese subjects before (A) and after 5% (B), 10% (C) and 15% (D) weight loss (total 36 samples).

Project description:Gene expression profiling of immortalized human mesenchymal stem cells with hTERT/E6/E7 transfected MSCs. hTERT may change gene expression in MSCs. Goal was to determine the gene expressions of immortalized MSCs.
